BUILDING BLOCKS CHALLENGE: MISE EN PLACE PRACTICE
One of the biggest differences between chaotic cooking and confident cooking often comes down to preparation.
“Mise en place,” a French culinary term meaning “everything in its place,” is one of the foundational habits used in professional kitchens to create efficiency, focus, and flow.
This challenge is all about slowing down, organizing your space, and experiencing how preparation can completely change the way you cook.
YOUR CHALLENGE -
Choose a simple recipe and complete the following steps before turning on the stove or oven.
Step 1: Read the Recipe Completely
Read the recipe from beginning to end before starting.
Step 2: Gather Everything You Need
Collect:
• All ingredients
• Tools
• Pans
• Measuring equipment
Step 3: Prep Every Ingredient Beforehand• Chop
• Measure
• Wash
• Portion
Step 4: Organize Your Workspace
Arrange your ingredients neatly in the order they’ll be used.
Step 5: Cook the Recipe
As you cook, pay attention to how preparation affects your overall experience in the kitchen.
REFLECTION QUESTIONS
• Did cooking feel more organized?
• What differences did you notice in your stress level or focus?
• Which parts of preparation helped you the most?
• Would you use mise en place again in future cooking?
